Throughout your playthrough of Dave the Diver, you are going to encounter a lot of different fish while you are taking your dives. The fish you catch will be served as sushi at Bancho's Sushi, the restaurant that you help manage at night. This satisfying loop of diving into the ocean to catch fish to serve at a sushi restaurant has gotten the attention of a lot of different players.

An exciting element about Dave the Diver is that The Blue Hole is randomly generated. Although the changes are not too drastic, it is enough to spawn in other kinds of rare fish. These rare fish will often give you better sushi for your customers. One of the rarest fish that you can catch in the game is called the Striped Catfish. Here, we are going to go over how to find and catch the Striped Catfish in Dave the Diver.

Throughout your playthrough, you will get upgrades to the equipment that you have to better explore The Blue Hole. But your equipment is not the only thing that will be upgraded. In Dave the Diver, the very waters you dive in will change as the story progresses. To put it simply, you cannot catch the Striped Catfish in the early game.

Striped Catfish can be caught at 0 to 50m of depth but only when seaweed is overflowing in the waters. This is a rare biome that becomes available later on in the story. Even when you can find the seaweed biome, it is still very rare and only available during the day. If you want to find Striped Catfish quickly, you can dive in, see if you got the seaweed biome, and reset until it appears.

Now that you know how to find Striped Catfish, you just need to know how to catch them. Although they are small, Striped Catfish are aggressive and will attack you when they see you. What's worse is they travel in schools and are pretty fast as well. Although you could harpoon them, you might get attacked by others while you are doing that.

The best way to catch Striped Catfish is by using a net gun. The net gun will catch a lot of Striped Catfish at the same time which will give you a 3-star rank for these fish. Plus, it is the easiest way to deal with an aggressive school of fish. Any other way puts you in danger to being attacked.
